Funny things I noticed

So last night while relaxing with my husband, I had an itch on my leg.  So I pulled the itchy leg across on top of the other knee to scratch.  And while scratching I noticed that my legs seemed thinner.  Not like I had a lot of issues with my legs while I was 14 pounds heavier, but it was just funny.  I also have come to terms with the fact that while in my youth I gained the weight all over,  after having kids, it is now concentrated in one large area and that is going to be the hardest area to get back into shape.  I guess the good thing is that I am losing the weight so that I can gain a little with another baby.  While pregnant with my son, I didn't gain anything until the very end and that was only 12pounds.  So, my hope is that I will have lost a total of 20pounds by the date of my doctor's appt next month and will continue to lose it as my husband and I are trying to get pregnant again after that appt.  So getting completely in shape (flat belly,etc) isn't as important as losing enough weight to be better off and developing the self motivation to know that it won't be as hard to lose it next time.  After baby number 3 life will be busier but I will still find the time to exercise because I feel better when I do and I know I can lose the weight.  It would be great to get smaller faster after the next baby and maybe even look really hot before it is time to discuss baby number 4.  I think having taken most of my weight off will be great for my recovery this next time around too.  I can't wait to get pregnant and I am so happy to be losing the weight.  My clothes are fitting better and I am excited to think what another 5 lbs will do for that.  I have also noticed my boobs don't feel as full, guess where I lose the weight first..! Oh well, my husband loves me no matter what I look like, I just liked that I had a larger size, but I haven't lost so much that they are small, just decent.  Anyways, this weekend is super busy, my husband is graduating with his Bachelor's degree and because we are having a party, it makes me stick to my slim fast a little better.  I have been eating less in general and take smaller portions, sometimes I don't even finish that, but I feel great about it because I have lost so much weight.  Yay Me, feeling Great!
